Ford GT National Rally 11 September 15-18
The Ford GT faithful are gathering in Austin, Texas for this year’s Ford GT National Rally 11. Capping off a spectacular year of Ford GT racing, attendees have the only chance to see all four Ford GT race cars in action as they compete in the Lone Star Le Mans IMSA and FIA World Endurance Championship (FEC) doubleheader at the Circuit of the Americas (COTA). Since their début at the Rolex 24, the 2017 Ford GT race cars have exceeded expectations, pulling off an historic win at this year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans. Catching them in action on the track at COTA promises to be a memorable experience.

The Lone Star Le Mans is a Texas twist on the world’s most grueling endurance race. Four classes of cars race together on the 3.4-mile racetrack outside of Austin. Fans can experience two premiere sports car series in one event; the global FIA WEC and the North American based IMSA WeatherTech Sports Car Championship. Competition promises to be tough, since COTA is home to the two Dodge Viper GT Daytona teams.
